Cannot find a birth for Mary Jane in Scarbro' 1873 +/- 1 year under the name Smaller so wonder if William could be a second marriage,

The birth cert for George Thomas Hellyar may be required to clarify her maiden name

Just looked at the 1911 census again, Porkie and it states that George Thomas was also adopted! I will add this to the 1911 census above.

In the event that no children was born to the marriage then if no one can find a birth for Mary Jane the marriage cert is the other option to see if smaller is her maiden name or if it is a second marriage

If George Thomas Cole is George Thomas Hellyar in the 1911 census, then how come his mother was registered on his birth certificate as Florence Mary Cowell which I am in receipt of.

Potty

Potty Report 13 Jul 2013 15:35

Is his father's name on the birth cert? If so, what is it?

I did notice that the George Thomas is aged 14 in both 1901 and 1911 census, so there could be two Georges.

Potty

Potty Report 13 Jul 2013 15:43

Looking more closely at the 1901 image, George is aged 4 not 14.

No trace of a marriage or death for Florence even using Phonetic search for her surname, Did She emigrate?
